MAYOR OF ATLANTA DEFENDS MOB'S ACT

Declares Leo Frank Suffered "Just Penalty"—Advises Slaton to Stay Away From State. *4

-v- &

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Aug. 18.— J. G. Woodward, mayor of Atlanta, Ga., in an address here last night, declared that Leo M. Frank, who was lynched Monday. night, suffered the "just penalty for. an unspeakable crime."

The Atlanta mayor at the same time warned former Gov. John M. Slaton, now in California, not to return to

Georgia. Little or no applause greeted his remarks, although he was listened to with close attention. In the course of his speech, Mayor "Woodward said: "I am going to take occasion tonight to tell of the events that have put Georgia on the map in a very undesirable light. I am going to endeavor to set you right. People throughout the United States have obtained their ideas of the Frank case from a poisoned and subsidized press and press reports. "Common decency prevents me from telling you the revolting truths of the murder of Mary Phagan. I wish you all knew the truths as I know them. I know them, for I have been with this case ever since it started and I have read every line of evidence that was introduced. I know that there is not a member of the jury that tired Leo M. Frank who would, change his decision if put to the test again.

Defends State's People.

"Georgia is the leading state of the south. Its people cannot be classed with tramps, hoodlums, bandits and law breakers, but things had come to a point where every avenue of the law had been exhausted and the judgment of the courts set aside by one man, and the people felt that it was up to them to take the law into their own hands. "While we people of Georgia deplore this deed of Monday night, we know what is behind the feeling that prompted it and I want it understood that it is simply emphasizing the fact that when it comes to a woman's honor there is no limit we will not go to avenge and protect. "There were only two people implicated in the death of Mary Phagan. I know the negro did not commit the deed, and am positive that 75 per cent of the people of Georgia are convinced that the man lynched Monday night committed the deed, and they are on the ground and ought to know. "As mayor of Atlanta I have received tons and tons of letters, petitions and requests asking that something be done for Frank and they have all gone into the waste basket, for, like all Georgia people who are in a position to get at the truth, I know the facts. "I know Jack Slaton, have known him for thirty years, ever since he was a young man. I have been friends with him and, while I hate to say it.

I would not advise him return to Georgia for a year-if ever." _______—• i'i

In going over the traction company's estimates, the commission found $1,635,591.25 in "doubtful charges," or "watered stock." Mr. Wells said. the stock of the traction company is divided into 10,000 shares of preferred and 20,000 shares of common stock. Of these 465 of the preferred and 5 of the common stock are held by local people. There are 289 stockholders in the company, 13 of whom are Terre Hauteans.

Resinol Stops Itching Instantly

It Is a positive fact that the moment resinol ointment touches any itching skin, the itching usually stops aand healing begins. With the aid of resinoi soap, it quickly clears away all trace of eczema, ringm, pimples, blackheads, or similar tormentign, unsightly eruption, leaving the skin clear and healthy.

Arid the best of it is you need never hesitate to use resinoi soap and resinoi ointment. There is nothing in them to injure the tenderest surface. Resinol is a doctor's prescription which for twenty years has been used by careful physicians for all kinds of skin affections. They prescribe resinoi freely, confident that its soothing, healing action is brought about by medication so bland and gentle as to be suited to the most delicate or irritated skin—even of a tiny baby. Every druggist, sells resinoi soap and resinoi ointment. Samples free. Dept. 26-R, Resinol, Baltimore, Md.

FRANK LYNCHING PROBE ORDERED BY GOVERNOR

Continued From Page One.

yesterday. The governor had not decided when he reached his office whether a reward would be offered for apprehension of members of the lynching party.

E. L. Rainey. a member of the state prison commission, arrived here today from Milledgeville. With other members of the commission he was at the prison farm when Frank was taken away. Like R. E. Davidson, chairman of the commission, he is of the opinion that nothing would be gained by an investigation'of the events at the penitentiary. Mr. Davidson left Mllledge ville early today for Atlanta.

Hanging Carefully Planned. Those who today studied more closely the movements of the mob at Milledgeville are convinced that a few members were in the vicinity of the town before the main party arrived. It must have taken some time to cut the telephone wires in the manner in which it was done. None of the automobiles bearing the lynchers was seen here until they approached the prison.

Many in Marietta believe plans simliar to those which were successful Monday night were frustrated a month ago. The Milledgeville company of militia was ordered to hold Itself ready to proceed to the. state prison. As far as generally known reports that a mob might attack the prison were no more persistent than they had been for some time. Prison officials never said exactly whey they requested the milita to be held ready. If was intimated at Marietta that there had been a "leak."

Those who tried to follow the decoy automobile which carried the party of lynchers to near Eatonton, where demonstration took plaice, said today that these plans had been carefully arranged. Chains were placed on the tires which made trailing easy and after the machine had crossed the bridge over Little river the chains were removed.

Although nearly every town between Milledgeville and Marietta over any route the mob might have taken have been communicated with today, only one' man was found who had seen the automobiles proceeding to the scene of the hanging.

Daniels Scores Act. WASHINGTON, Aug. 18.—Secretary of the Navy Daniels last night issued a formal statement denouncing the lynching of Leo M. Frank as the worst blot on the name of Georgia, declaring that it would be more sincerely condemned in the south than in any other part of the republic.
